also would it be outlandish to believe that minnesota can carry this on for the rest of the season and possibly challenge the 49ers and the Lions for the chance to face of against the Chiefs in the super bowl.

No, it would not. True fandom is based on such beliefs. Hope should springs eternal in a land of healthy minded fans.

It would not be outlandish. As things stand now, the Vikings are the best team in the NFC (and we beat the Niners), and this is on paper the hard part of our schedule. While we'll probably choke before we get a ring, this is the part of the year where any true Vikings fan is full of cautious optimism, and is cheering "I'm ready to get hurt again!"

8-8, 4 weeks in a row
“Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

In which section at the Super Dome will y'all be seated? 8)

So. Those new on-sides kick rules are a bit more elaborate than we all thought. Especially when combining it with the free kick from the 20 after a safety has been given up.
